unable to publish to sinopia 413

[aikomastboom]

Upgrading our node stack the following came to light.

node 0.10.23 with npm 1.3.17.
doing a npm publish works fine for us.

upgrading to node 0.10.24 or higher with npm 1.3.21 or higher
results in the following error:

npm http PUT http://npm.adomain.net/a-package
npm http 413 http://npm.adomain.net/a-package
npm ERR! publish Failed PUT 413

on the sinopia side we see:

http  <-- 413, user: jenkins, req: 'PUT /a-package', error: request entity too large

a 0.10.23 publish looks like this:

http  <-- 409, user: jenkins, req: 'PUT /a-package', error: this package is already present
http  --> 404, req: 'GET https://registry.npmjs.org/a-package', bytes: 0/52
http  <-- 200, user: jenkins, req: 'GET /a-package', bytes: 0/2393441
http  <-- 201, user: jenkins, req: 'PUT /a-package/-/a-package-1.0.1-678.tgz/-rev/1341-a9d2ab1f359ff904', bytes: 17905144/43
http  <-- 201, user: jenkins, req: 'PUT /a-package/1.0.1-678/-tag/latest', bytes: 6737/31

note: This particular a-package is about 17Mb in size.
note 2: With node 0.10.23 we have no trouble publishing packages 250Mb in size.

Please change your config to allow larger packages:

# maximum size of uploaded json document
# increase it if you have "request entity too large" errors
max_body_size: 10mb

The default is 10mb, and this limitation is done mostly for security reasons, because dealing with large packages is very memory-consuming. 17Mb won't be an issue, but 250Mb with newer npm versions can crash some systems.
